Ukraine can rely on France, European partners to win war: Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron has said that Ukraine can rely on France and its European partners to win the war against Russia.
He made the remarks on Wednesday during a joint press conference while hosting his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Paris.
"Russia neither can nor must prevail," Macron added.
The French president expressed his country`s "firm support" for Kiev "as long as Russia attacks it," noting that "what is at play in Ukraine involves Europe`s future."
He also stressed the importance of justice to establish peace.
"We will be here so that the suffering caused to the Ukrainian people is judged," he added, evoking a peace plan proposed by Ukraine last fall.
"That plan is an essential basis for discussions in our eyes, which should lead us to an international peace conference," he said.
